Bavaria dominates Leverkusen in the Champions League round of 16: 3-0 victory celebrated!
Xabi Alonso has done it again. The coach Bayer Leverkusens again waived a center forward in the first leg of the round of 16. The coach had last two times rightly vivid success against FC Bayern did. The Leverkuseners switched the Munich off in the cup in December and dominated their opposite in an impressive manner in the league. One of the moods of the game was due to the fact that Bayern came away with a 0-0 in February. In any case, Alonso had dispensed with Patrik Schick and Victor Boniface both times and instead stressed the Munich defense with nimble midfielder. On Wednesday in the Allianz Arena, Amine Adli was to take over. This time, however, Alonso's tactical trick failed, the Bavaria won 3-0.
Bavaria looks much more alert in the Champions League duel than Leverkusen
The March Bavaria are difficult to compare with the February Bavaria. This is also one of the strangeness of this wonderful game. If the Munich meets at the past meeting, the Munich -based company still ran into any of the pressing traps of their opponent, this time they presented themselves both mentally and physically restored.
To this end, Harry Kane demonstrated why it can be an advantage every now and then to have a trained midfielder on the pitch. After nine minutes, Michael Olise hit the penalty area, which could only have been astonished to watch all nimble midfielder in the world in astonishment. But Kane skilfully sat down in front of opponent Nordi Mukiele, skilfully got into the air and headed the ball to 1-0 in the goal. The attacker of the Munich team had previously not scored for four games, which caused supporters of Bayern to fear that the Englishman falls into a very unfavorable time into a low of form. It doesn't look like that.
The fans show pyro show in the Allianz Arena
Before the game, the fans had illustrated what they were expecting from their team in this game. Before Michael Oliver kicked off the game, they lit a massive pyro show, which may be seen as a subsequent celebration of the 125th anniversary of the association. The first few minutes were similarly heated in the field. The Munich team made it clear early on that they tried to clarify who was now number one in German football. Since the Bayer-Elf did not want to let this status fueled without a fight, a racy game developed-which was only lacking in technical highlights.
Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz are usually intended for such a thing. But the two gifted people were rarely able to put themselves in the limelight. The circles of the Leverkusener often narrowly enter Joshua Kimmich, who returned to the team after tendon irritation was stuck in the thigh. In addition to the guard of Wirtz, he also skillfully took care of structure in the Munich game. For example, Bayern were the better team over long distances in the first half and held away from the Leverkuseners away from their own goal except for a mistake Upamecanos, which newly ironed out against Jeremy Frimpong.
Bavaria dominates, Bayer at a loss – that also applies in the second half
The picture hardly changed in the second half. The Munich, on the other hand, consistently played the way forward. However, the goal for the 2-0 does not result in a finely orchestrated move, but a mistake by the Leverkusen keeper Matej Kovar, who dropped a harmless Kimmich flank, Musiala only had to insert (54.) Immediately afterwards the battered new one had to be replaced, so that Winter-Neu access Jonas Urbig came to his first assignment. A few minutes later, the already warned Mukiele unnecessarily fell Coman in the opposing half and was consequently sent from the square with a yellow bread. The Munich team now sensed the chance to develop an outstanding starting position for the second leg – and received support from Edmond Tapsoba, which Kane held on a corner. According to the video images, referee Oliver decided on a penalty. Kane safely converted to 3: 0 (75.) The Leverkuseners were finally beaten – and if the Munich team does not experience a significant drop in performance next Tuesday, they may feel like the best German team again.
